Critics consensus

“Hawn and Streep are as fabulous as Death Becomes Her 's innovative special effects; Zemeckis' satire, on the other hand, is as hollow as the world it mocks.”

The target of the movie's jokes is female vanity, but since Zemeckis exhibits not a trace of affection for the actresses (or for any of the men, either), one feels humiliated merely watching his crude-spirited wit.

This new horror-comedy has to be one of the most heartless mainstream pictures ever made.

If there were something resembling genuine satire of human behavior beyond the simple pretexts for fancy special effects and relentless sadism, I might have found some of this funny.

... the central idea is tantalizing and the cast is having so much fun...
